Many philosophies, many traditions, many Gods, many languages, numerous casts, creeds but Unity in Diversity - Vasudev Kutumbakam. Hinduism is a practice & main religion is referred as 'Sanatana Dharma' - The Eternal Law of Righteousness. This law suggests finding the truth within, self-realization & seeking wisdom. Hinduism is sometimes called "Framework of Spirituality", "Mother of all religions" as we can see all other religions are virtually influenced.

As per the Hindu philosophy, universe undergoes regular creation and destruction. Hence Space & Time are of cyclic nature. Everything is constantly changing and every creation will be destroyed.

Quran Surah 37 - As-Saffat (Those Ranging in Ranks)

Ayat 5 - The Lord of the heavens and the earth and
all that lies between them, and the Lord of the Easts.

Ayat 6 - He decked the nearest heavens with ornaments
of stars,

Ayat 7 - Protecting them against every wayward devil,

Ayat 8 - So that they are not able to listen to the
angels of higher (echelons), and are pelted from all sides

Ayat 9 - And kept far away. There is perpetual
punishment for them,

Ayat 10 - Except those who eavesdrop and are pursued
by a shooting flame.

Ayat 11 - So ask them if they are more difficult to
create, or the rest We have created? Indeed (man) We created from fermented clay.

Ayat 12 - Yet while you are filled with wonder, they
just scoff;

Ayat 13 - And when they are warned they pay no heed.

Ayat 14 - When they see a sign, they laugh at it,

Ayat 15 - And say: "This is only magic.

Ayat 16 - When we are dead and turned to dust and
bones, how can we be raised again,

Ayat 17 - And our fathers too?"

Ayat 18 - You say: "Yes; and you will be lowly
made."

Ayat 19 - There will only be a single jerk, and they
will gape,

Ayat 20 - And say: "Ah woe! This is the Day of
Reckoning."

Ayat 21 - "(Yes,) this is the Day of Judgement you
had called a lie."

Ayat 22 - Gather all the wicked together and their
comrades, and those they had worshipped

Ayat 23 - Other than God," (the angels will be
told), "then show them the way to Hell,

Ayat 24 - And detain them, for they will be
questioned."

Ayat 25 - "What is the matter with you that you do
not help each other?"

Ayat 26 - They will submit to questioning then,

Ayat 27 - And some of them will confront the others,

Ayat 28 - Saying: "It were you who imposed
yourselves upon us."

Ayat 29 - They will say: "No, you were the ones who
would not believe.

Ayat 30 - We had no power over you. In fact, you were
a people rebellious.

Ayat 31 - The sentence of our Lord has come true for
us. We have certainly to taste (the punishment),

Ayat 32 - For we had led you astray. In fact we
ourselves were astray."

Ayat 33 - So, they will become partners in
punishment.

Ayat 34 - That is how We deal with sinners.

Ayat 35 - They were those who, when it was said to
them, "There is no god but God," behaved with insolence,

Ayat 36 - And said: "Should we abandon our gods for
the sake of an insane poet?"

Ayat 37 - Not in the least. He has brought the truth
and confirmed the other messengers.

Ayat 39 - And be rewarded but only for what you had
done,

Ayat 40 - Except the chosen creatures of God,

Ayat 41 - Whose provision is predetermined --

Ayat 42 - Fruits of every kind, and they will be
honoured

Ayat 44 - (Sitting) on couches, face to face,

Ayat 45 - With cups from a flowing stream being
passed around,

Ayat 46 - Clear, delicious to drink,

Ayat 47 - Neither dulling the senses nor
intoxicating,

Ayat 48 - And with them maidens of modest look and
large lustrous eyes,

Ayat 49 - Like sheltered eggs in a nest.

Ayat 50 - Then one turned to the other in an enquiry.

Ayat 51 - Said one of the speakers: "I had a friend

Ayat 52 - Who used to say: ´Are you one of those who
can testify to the truth?

Ayat 53 - (Do you think) we would be paid back our
due when we are dead and reduced to dust and bones?´

Ayat 54 - He said: ´Will you look down?´

Ayat 55 - He looked down and saw (his friend) in the
midst of Hell.

Ayat 56 - ´By God´, he said, ´you had almost ruined
me.

Ayat 57 - Had it not been for the grace of my Lord I
too would have been there (in Hell).

Ayat 58 - (Another will say:)"Is it true, we are not
going to die

Ayat 59 - Other than our first death, and we shall
not be punished?

Ayat 61 - For this the toilers should strive."

Ayat 62 - Is this better or the tree of Zaqqum

Ayat 63 - Which We have reserved as punishment for
evil-doers?

Ayat 64 - It is a tree that grows at the bottom of
Hell.

Ayat 65 - Its spathes are like the prickly pear.

Ayat 66 - They will eat and fill their bellies with
it,

Ayat 67 - Washing it down with boiling water.

Ayat 68 - Then to Hell they will surely be returned.

Ayat 70 - Yet they hasten to follow in their
footsteps.

Ayat 71 - So had many an earlier people gone astray,

affliction,

Ayat 77 - And made his progeny survive,

Ayat 84 - When he came to his Lord with a heart
compliant,

Ayat 85 - When he said to his father and his people:
"What is this you worship?

Ayat 86 - Why do you solicit false gods instead of
God?

Ayat 87 - What do you imagine the Lord of the worlds
to be?"

Ayat 88 - Then he looked up at the stars (they
worshipped),

Ayat 89 - And said: "I am sick (of what you
worship)!"

Ayat 90 - But they turned their backs on him and went
away.

Ayat 91 - Then he turned towards their gods and said:
"Why do you not eat (of these offerings)?

Ayat 92 - What is wrong with you that you do not
speak?"

Ayat 93 - Then he started striking them down with his
right hand.

Ayat 94 - So the people descended upon him.

Ayat 95 - "Why do you worship these you carve
yourselves," he asked,

Ayat 96 - "When God has created you and what you
make?"

Ayat 97 - "Build a pyre for him and throw him into
the raging fire."

Ayat 98 - So they contrived a plot against him, but
We made them abject.

Ayat 99 - And he said: "I am going away to my Lord
who will show me the way.

Ayat 100 - (And he prayed:) "O Lord, grant me a
righteous son."

Ayat 101 - So We gave him the good news of a clement
son.

Ayat 102 - When he was old enough to go about with
him, he said: "O my son, I dreamt that I was sacrificing you. Consider, what you think?" He replied: "Father, do as you are
commanded. If God pleases you will find me firm."

Ayat 103 - When they submitted to the will of God,
and (Abraham) laid (his son) down prostrate on his temple,

Ayat 104 - We called out: "O Abraham,

Ayat 105 - You have fulfilled your dream." Thus do
We reward the good.

posterity.

be mindful of God?

Ayat 125 - Would you call on Baal and leave the best
of creators,

Ayat 126 - God, your Lord, and the Lord of your
fathers?"

Ayat 127 - They denied him, and will surely be
brought to punishment,

Ayat 128 - Except the chosen creatures of God.

Ayat 129 - And We left his (memory) for posterity.

Ayat 130 - Peace be on Elias.
